Is Taylor Sheridan's 'Landman' Based on a True Story?

Now that Taylor Sheridan's latest Paramount+ drama, Landman, has finally hit the streamer, there's an obvious question on everyone's minds: Is Landman based on a true story? After previously dazzling audiences with hits like Yellowstone, Tulsa King, and Lioness, Sheridan has added yet another prestige drama to his repertoire. But to answer the previous question, that depends on how you define "true story." After all, like many of Sheridan's projects, there are elements of reality woven throughout the narrative, and that's what makes a story like Landman so fascinating.
